North Liberty is one of the fastest growing communities in Iowa and had a very good year for home sales in 2009.
Well priced new construction attracted price conscious first time homebuyers. The sharp decline in December is probably an indicator of the fact that first time homebuyers purchased their homes before the November 30 deadline. For the year home sales were up by 15%.
With the extension of the homebuyer tax credit, it seems likely that first time homebuyers will be out and about again now that the holidays are over and 2010 should be another good year for North Liberty. We'll look for confirmation of that by watching the trends closely in the coming months.
